Description
### Problem Statement
Opening based on a discussion with potential Sentry users:
Scenario:
- We want to capture continuous sessions on kiosk-style and handheld devices in our warehouse
- There are a relatively low number of devices and users of these apps compared to a consumer-facing app, so we would want to capture 100% of sessions
- There is a limit of 60 minutes per session with Android's Replay feature and a new session does not automatically start like it does on web Replay in [session mode](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/react/session-replay/understanding-sessions/#session-mode)
A current potential workaround for this is to automatically trigger a backgrounding and foregrounding of the app every 60 minutes to trigger the start of a new session, but it would be preferable to have this happen automatically and uninterrupted, without taking such an action.
### Solution Brainstorm
We could either allow for sessions over 60 minutes (devices are continuously on throughout the workday for a period of many hours), or automatically start new sessions when the 60 minute limit is hit.
